1.Analytics and Synthesis builds on the undergraduate Operations Research background of the candidate and exposes him/her to new Operational Research tools and techniques not encountered in the undergraduate studies.

The approach and methods to solve research problems are not exactly the same as for real-life problems. In this module persons who are used to real life problems (engineers) and to design real-life solutions are guided towards the formulation research problems and the design of a research methodology.

As Engineers we are used to solving real-life problems. However, the approach and methods to solve research problems are not exactly the same as for real-life problems. In this module persons who are used to solve engineering problems are guided towards formulation research problems and research methodologies.

To manage telemedicine systems, processes and systems efficiently, a multidisciplinary team is required, consisting of healthcare practitioners and ICT specialists. This course is targeted at engineering managers in a healthcare environment (or health systems engineers) as well as healthcare practitioners working with telemedicine technology.
